Return to Sonship

(Psalm 27:6 nkjv) And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me; therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle; I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

When we know who we are it is very easy to hold our head up high and to look the world straight into the eye. When we are unsure who we are then the tendency is to look down and away from what we think or perceive others see about us. When we are in that mind set we do not look straight into the eye of the world and there fore we do not make our mark on history. When we are unsure of who we are it is a flag to our enemies that gives them a free reign to continue to push us down and to lie about us and to us and attack us in the this area of who we really are and that is sons in the kingdom of God.

Right from the very beginning in the Garden of Eden this was the plan of the enemy to attack God’s plan for man. The enemy comes to man to great doubt in his heart as to who he is and to create doubt in mans heart about the very integrity of God. He accuses God of lying to Adam and Eve by subtly making the statement that God was holding something back from them. His attack was about who they were and despite what was said about them they were not as good as God said they were. Note in Genesis every time that God created He said it was good, but when it came to man he said it was very good.

(Genesis 1:31a nkjv) Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good.

No matter what we do we cannot be any more accepted than what we are, we cannot undo any level of acceptance from God or extract anymore acceptance from Him. The death of Jesus on the cross is total proof of full acceptance. The great deception that lifts its head every day is this, the enemy has the church striving to be accepted and continually lying to them about their sonship, trying to cause doubt in the hearts of God’s people that they are not in the image and likeness of God and that God is holding some thing back from them. The enemy has us fighting for sonship when we are already sons.

The key is not to fight for position but to fight from our position of strength. In other words fight from the positions of sons. If we are to live a productive kingdom life we have to get to a place where we believe that we are children of God or what the old King James Version say believe that we are the sons of God and that there is no question or doubt that you are who God says you are.

First love keeps the focus on Him, and knowing who you are keeps the focus on Him.
